"I'm not there for that kind of sentiment, I just want to meet people!" Huo Yubo saw that Su Miaomiao had misunderstood and spoke quickly.
"Woman?" Su Miaomiao asked tentatively.
Huo Bo nodded.
Su Miaomiao: “…”
"I didn't know that you had old friends in that kind of place." Su Miaomiao glanced at Huo Bo.
"She didn't choose to go to that place, and I didn't meet her there." Huo Yubo's voice was a little low.
"Can you tell me about it?" Su Miaomiao asked.
Huo Bo looked at her for a moment and sighed softly: "Let's find a place where it's convenient to talk."
He knew that Su Miaomiao had already gone to Hongjie with him, and she must get to the bottom of this matter.
"Okay." Su Miaomiao nodded.
She took Huo Yubo to the courtyard house she had bought before.
This is the set she is most satisfied with, but she has never had time to clean it, so it looks a bit shabby.
The yard is full of fallen leaves, but it is very quiet and a good place to chat.
Su Miaomiao cleaned the stone bench in the middle of the yard.
"Please sit down." Su Miaomiao invited Huo Bo.
Huo Bo sat down slowly, but did not speak for a long time.
Su Miaomiao was not in a hurry and waited very patiently.
It was unknown how long it took before Huo Bo finally sorted out his thoughts.
"Her name is... Liu Zhener. When I first met her, we were still young. I happened to go to the bookstore to buy a book that day. Coincidentally, there was only that one copy left in the bookstore. I wanted to take it, but she got there before me." Huo Yubo recalled those long-lost memories.
Su Miaomiao nodded. She had thought before that her elder brother must have met that girl outside Red Street, and she didn't expect it to be true.
"She was dressed very simply, her clothes were a bit worn, and she looked pale and thin. She didn't look like a child from a wealthy family. And the book cost twenty yuan, and it was a very rare original copy."
"I thought she was a poor kid who loved reading, so I didn't argue with her. When she paid, she took out loose change: a dollar, a few cents, and even a few cents."
"The boss counted with her for a long time, but she was still two dollars short. With tears in her eyes, she asked if he could give her two dollars less, but he refused."
"She was really about to cry, and since I saw how much she loved the book, I gave her the two dollars."
"Brother, you didn't fall in love with her at first sight at that time, did you?" Su Miaomiao narrowed her black eyes.
"No." Huo Yubo shook his head. "I just thought that someone from a poor family who was willing to save up twenty yuan to buy a book must be a very studious and ambitious person. I just couldn't bear to see someone who loved reading so much sad."
"What happened next?" Su Miaomiao continued to ask.
"She was very grateful to me. When she left, her eyes were still red and she kept bowing to me to express her gratitude."
"I just thought it was a minor incident and thought there would be no chance to see him again."
"About half a month later, I decided to try my luck at that bookstore again to see if I could find another original edition."
"It's just a pity that the bookstore didn't have any new stock. I was about to leave when she suddenly showed up again."
